Tomatillo Salsa Verde- This Salsa Verde made with fresh ingredients is very delicious, juicy and irresistible. A very easy recipe to make, taste really good that you are not going back to get salty store-bought ones. To make this recipe you will need to cook the tomatillos, you can either broil them, pan roast them or boil them. I like broiled one best for its rusty and smoky flavor.
